I attended a function in the upstairs room of Corban's Gallery tonight. From the moment we entered the room and received our welcome glass of champagne we were made to feel welcome by all the staff. There are actually two rooms upstairs – one with a dance floor and another quieter room for people who want to sit and chat - with a bar connecting the two. Both rooms were laid out beautifully and there was a very pleasant atmosphere.

We had an amazing night! The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The buffet was wonderful – thanks to Dave and Richard for preparing and serving it. No curled up sandwiches and sausage rolls – the assortment of food was superb and wonderfully presented. Thanks also to Paul – our barman for the night.We had a karaoke (thanks to Ed for providing that) and it was a fun night. People were very relaxed and quite a few didn't want to leave after last orders at midnight, so they moved downstairs to the bar and continued to chat.

Having joined the Corban's Gallery Group on Facebook I receive notifications from Phil about future events and special offers so I am sure to be back at Corban's Gallery in the near future.A very big thank you to the owners – Paul and Maria – for their hospitality and for allowing us to let our hair down and have some much n​​​​​​​​​​eeded fun. I am sure that the people who attended the function tonight will be singing Corban's praises and passing the word along to colleagues, family and friends and recommending your restaurant to them.

If you need a function room contact Corban's Gallery and I am sure you will not be disappointed with the venue, the hospitality and the food!

​Found the 2 for 1 offer on the site so thought we'd call in after work, place was fairly busy, they didn't ask for my Onionring voucher as I think the 2 for 1 is on all the time at the moment. Anyway I had goats cheese tart, which was actually 3 little ones, pretty decent though, the wife had fish and chips which looked great. Really good value at the moment so I recommend giving it a go!

The food was great and the atmosphere was good.What has happened to that wonderful pianist who used to play on Thursday evenings. I was hoping she would be playing as we all loved her last time we came here. Loved the food and the service was good.

I visited your restaurant with my partner on Saturday 29th December. We had a delicious meal, the atmosphere was excellent and decor was fabulous. I was very disappointed I could not take a picture of Nick Cochrane. We will definitely be coming again.

Great bar with friendly service, and regular live music. Didn't eat there, but did catch a band on Saturday night...Elephant Juice, they were awesome, the whole place was going mad!! Will definitely be going back.

I visited The Gallery tonight for the first time, and was delighted at what I found. The cocktail bar upstairs had a fantastic array of liquors, and two gents who really new what they were talking about. They made me their signature drink, a rum cocktail with Tobacco in it! I was unsure when they suggested it, but it was amazing. Innovative! It was a pleasure to be in a venue, willing to push the boundaries. They have not settled for average decor, products or staff, as everywhere else in the Hale area seem to. I did not eat in the restaurant, but all the food I saw looked, and smelt, fantastic. I shall definitely be taking the wife for a meal. Enjoy this place, I certainly did!

Chris (18/11/2007) says....

If you're a cocktail fan, ask for Dan upstairs. Try the tobacco old fashioned! Excellent!

The BEST manager in the world! (16/11/2007) says....

Would just like to say a very big thank-you to all the hard working staff at The Gallery for their efforts and application towards the launch of our new and fantastic restaurant and piano bar, upstairs @ The Gallery.

What more can I say about perfection!! the staff professional and friendly. The layout of the new restaurant is warm and very welcoming. The food was adorable, fresh produce, with a beautiful presentation on the plate. Strongly recommend a visit!! I will be again and soon

Upstairs at The Gallery The Upstairs part of the Gallery is SOOO great, fab decor, excellent bar service! The bartender created a cocktail just for me which was so creative and special! Would recommend anyone to go in and see this guy, tell him what flavours of cocktails you like and he'll create something unique and special just for you. Wouldn't surprise me if he opens his own bar one day, he completely has vision! Go and check it out.

Chris, Wilmslow (21/10/2007) says....

Genuinely one of the best cocktail bars in Manchester is hiding upstairs, as well as a first class restaurant. The bar staff are very friendly and welcoming, as well as being cocktail making geniuses. Has more or less become my favourite bar.

we ate at the Gallery's upstairs restaurant on Saturday and were blown away with the great food and service! This place must be Hales best kept secret! The atmosphere is very pleasant, with soft music and lots of candle light! We'll definately be going back.
